Man City boss Guardiola reflects on valuable lesson from Brentford

The Premier League champions emerged victorious with a narrow 2-1 win over Brentford, thanks to Erling Haaland who scored two goals.

Despite Brentford proving equal to the Citizens, Haaland’s scoring ability proved the difference.

“It’s important we don’t drop points, it’s a good lesson,” said Guardiola post-game.

“We were lucky with the deflection Erling scored. The players know it. 

“That’s why at half time, I didn’t say anything. There will be a lot of surprises with this number of games and one day we are going to drop points. 

“With a really tough game, we survived and with our mentality we adjusted. We did really well with our process to find the right moments.”
